In Ephesians 6:12, Brother Paul writes; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
What are the "Powers" Paul is referring to?

Spiritual beings that work against the believers of God. The ones who put targets on us the second they think that we are becoming Christian. The one's who try to cause us to stumble, lose heart, doubt God, and forget what it is that we are supposed to be doing.
They are the one's we really are fighting against. And without the help of God, we will fail. So trusting God, keeping him in focus every day is necessary, especially if you are aware of them. Many Christians are not aware of them.

Paul is referring to James the Just, the blood brother of Jesus and the true apostles.
Paul, the founder of the parasitic religion called Christianity hated the real Jesus, his gnostic teachings and the Nazarene community.

Occasionally you get a glimpse at the true evil agenda of Paul in his writings. Unfortunately most are oblivious to it as evidenced by their willing enthusiasm to celebrate being sheep by constant repetition and simulation (Lamb of God etc, the Lord is my Shepherd etc).

long story short: when adam sinned, he turned over the earth to the devil's control. since the devil can't be everywhere at one time (because he's not God) he has demonic governments and rulers set up (similar to our government) that reside in the atmospheric heaven and try to control the earth. Only the name of Jesus can stop them.

He appears to be suffering from some sort of paranoia. Well after all they stoned him (threw rocks at his head very hard), and he also went up to heaven (NDE?). He just wrote a few letters to his friends & family and someone took it all too seriously.
